E17 creates its own root window which is above the "root" of X. If you absolutely must use root-tail then you need to provide it E17's root window, not X's root. That can be done using the -id switch to root-tail. The window id of E17 can be obtained by grep-ing for "Enlightenment Background" in the output of xwininfo -root -tree The end result could be quite ugly though, with lots of flickering :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The modern datacenter depends on network connectivity to access resources and provide services.
